We're running out of ways to make them listen. How about this...
How about calling the offices of Republickers, pro-war Dems, and "we don't have the votes" Dems, speaking to the staffers...

... and asking them to walk-out of their boss' offices in protest.

What if we could get even twenty or thirty... dare we hope for a hundred... aides, staffers, pages and interns to walk out of Congress en masse, or over the course of a few days?

2. That's none of our concern.
What's important is making a statement.

5. START WITH NANCY PELOISI'S OFFICE if we think it's a good idea
Edited on Thu Sep-20-07 01:33 PM by IanDB1
Call her office, and tell her staffers:

If you want Nancy Pelosi to end the war, by NOT BRINGING THE FUNDING TO A VOTE, then WALK-OUT OF PELOSI'S OFFICE AND GO HOME!

And take as MANY other staffers, interns, and pages with you as you can.


Staffers and interns-- WALK OUT!

6. Yep - what would help this nation best is if the most liberal and progressive congressional interns
lost their jobs. That'd be ideal.

7. You're right. But we've tried everything, and I'm out of ideas.
All the letters, emails, marches and vigils in the world don't seem to be doing anything.

3. Oh, they'd probably be fired on the spot.
But I bet the ones who walked-out on pro-war Democrats would get better jobs, working for OTHER (BETTER) Democrats.
